Reaction Steps

A 100-ml flask equipped with a stirrer and dropping funnel was charged with 6.01 g (80 mmol) of N-methylethanolamine, 50 ml of ethanol and 22.8 g (80 mmol) of glycidyl tetradecanate, and the contents were stirred at 80° C. for 2 hours. The resultant reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel, thereby obtaining 17.5 g (yield: 60.8%) of the title compound (IIe-2).
